Burnt up Shirts - 12/365

Reagan was spending the day with Nana today. They were going to run a few errands and do some stuff for the trip. Jim went off to work and I was going to do some stuff for the trip, too!
I was going to spend some time doing our iron on transfers for our shirts for our "family" picture on the ship. We just loved our group shot with our shirts last year, so we wanted to do another.
I did Milana's first with no problems at all. It came out adorable!
Next, I went to do Reagan's and just touched the iron to the shirt for literally two seconds and it started smoking. I lifted the iron up and it had singed the transfer AND the shirt. It was a mess! I hadn't changed any settings from what I always use. It was crazy hot! Bizarre!
I unplugged it and let it sit for awhile. I happen to have a travel iron, so I got that one out to finish ironing the rest. About twenty minutes later, it suddenly got really quiet and I realized Reagan's sound machine turned off in her room. We always leave it running, so it was odd that it got quiet. I went to turn on the light, to see what happened to it and it turns out her room had no power at all. I went in the basement, to see if the breaker needed reset. It was tripped, but wouldn't stay in the "on" position. It was so weird! I'm wondering if the surge in the iron, sent a surge through the line. It's weird because it's not the room I was ironing in that is out and it's only Reagan's room that's out.
We'll have to call an electrician to see what's going on. Bizarre!
Milana's finished shirt!
